We help entrepreneurs build greatproductsand grow amazing teams

Ragnarson is a team of developers, designers and devops building web applications for over 10 years. We help entrepreneurs build MVPs to get their first customers and attract investors. Established companies hire us to increase development speed and quality. We plan and run reliable infrastructure.

We know startups

We have firsthand experience in building startups. Not only have we helped a number of our clients, we also had our own - Shelly Cloud. We know what works and what doesn't and we can share this knowledge with you.

Why web apps?

Everything has a web browser now. We believe that this is the best way to reach a large audience. That’s why we focus on the web applications. We use the best tools to build products that your clients will love.

How we'll work with you:

1

From idea to MVP

At this stage, we clarify what we want to achieve, who is the audience of your idea and focus on the most important features. With minimum cost, we help you build a product that will attract investors.

In the beginning, we have to learn all about your project. During the initial meetings we look at all the materials you have prepared so far (feature lists, mockups, designs) and plan how to approach the development. We prepare a rough estimate of what needs to be built and the amount of time it will take. After you accept it, we start the development process.

We hold weekly (or more frequent) meetings with you to make sure we're on the same page. You can see the real time progress as we constantly update you and share what we have built. Clicking through the application allows you to easily suggest changes and make better decisions. You can also share our work with the potential customers to get their feedback. We can then incorporate suggestions into the application.

At the end of this stage, we have a complete application with the core functionality that will attract the first customers and investors.

Growth

We start with the MVP we built together (or your existing application), discuss more complex features and build a complete product. We take care of performance, scaling and deployment.

As the product grows in complexity and requirements, so should the development team. We regularly monitor the situation and make sure that the team has the exact skillset required for the upcoming challenges.

Whether it's building APIs for mobile apps, designing and maintaining infrastructure for hosting, or creating ambitious SPA interfaces - we've done that, and we can do it for you.

We still share the progress with you regularly so that you can provide your ideas, suggestions and feedback based on what you see. Tracking and logging tools that we use allow you to monitor the behaviors of the visiting users. This helps in further tailoring of the application to their needs.

Long-term support

We provide a long term support for the application that you built with us, help recruit and train local team or provide consultations in regards to the performance or security. We help stabilize your product for a long term success.

At some point, there comes a time when either the application is complete and only occasional bugfixes are needed, or you want to transition the development to your internal team.

In either case, we can help you. We offer support contracts for the applications we've built. If there's any bug that needs fixing, or another feature to be added, we're here to help you.

We have a proven process for handing off the development to internal teams. We help you recruit, hire and train developers. As your team grows, we gradually reduce our involvement.

Sébastien Grosjean, CEO

After cooperating with many different web agencies, I finally came across Ragnarson. They provided me with meticulous and skilled developers who helped me achieve high quality work while meeting deadlines. They have been able to raise my expectations which help us do better for our customers.

Rob Morgan, CTO

Choosing to work with Ragnarson was crucial for the execution of our product. Through close collaboration we were able to rapidly launch an MVP in weeks, not months, test it and begin working on our greater platform.

Marius Jeuck, Co-Founder

Ragnarson did exactly what we were looking for. In less than 4 months of development they finished an MVP, three days before the deadline. It gave us a significant boost in convincing investors.

Carsten Jutzi, CEO

Long term relationship with Ragnarson (almost 5 years) was very profitable for me. Developers and administrators constantly support our product, develop and maintain the application and take care of IT infrastructure. I can focus on my business goals and not worry about a technicality.

Sibylle Luther, Co-Founder

I really appreciated the collaboration with Ragnarson. They worked very efficiently, always met the deadlines and had good input on certain features for which we needed a second opinion. I can recommend Ragnarson for any startup who wants to scale fast.

Guy Moller, Co-founder & CTO

Ragnarson guys made an awesome job. They took care to improve a quality code thanks to that Vehiculum is ready for further development and scaling its business.

After working on the platform for 2 years now, I'm honestly impressed of the seamless way to work this quite slim platform. It's reliability, scalability and the fact that we can run it with a very small dev-ops team. Thanks to our dear friends from Ragnarson - great job!

Evan Buist, Director

Ragnarson’s well-structured, agile workflow is by far the best I've experienced. They have a unique corporate philosophy focused on communication, mutual respect, openness and commitment to each project. This was absolutely reflected in the positive interactions I had with staff members as well as the quality of work delivered.

Tomasz Rozmus, CEO Crypto Investia

We are very happy and satisfied with our collaboration with Ragnarson. We were able to focus 100% on our core business as the technological stack was covered by the Ragnarson team. What I really appreciate is the clear understanding of our business needs and the preparation of non-trivial, non-standard technical solutions as a response to them. It is especially important in virgin markets, like blockchain and cryptocurrencies.

CTO

The solution successfully runs 500 gateways and processes large amounts of user data. Its frontend is user-friendly and its backend is stable. Rather than simply completing tasks, Ragnarson asks helpful questions and makes valuable suggestions to improve the product. Their support is invaluable.
